Reddit post trajectories

This compares the fastest three listed subreddits in two ways. First I plotted The_Donald, gonewild and AskReddit as before, showing the relationship between the age of the post in days, the rank or position in its subreddit, and the net karma score. Here AskReddit and gonewild are quite similar. Next, I plotted the number of comments instead of the rank, and we see a very different picture. AskReddit is all about the comments, while T_D and gonewild are extremely light on discussion, so the second chart very clearly separates AskReddit from the other two.
